A very sad death

I’ve found out today that a friend of mine from band has died. Hayley was only 16 and passed away last night. I don’t know how or why, but words are failing me – I cannot comprehend how her poor parents and family are feeling at the moment.

My thoughts and best wishes are with them.

I know it’s a bit cheesy but I’m going to steal some words from a sympathy card I saw a week or so ago – it fits this situation perfectly.

It’s not all about how long a flower blooms for, it’s about how beautifully it blooms.

Haley certainly bloomed beautifully, but for a shockingly too-short time.
